Anthony, with all due respect..... think about what you said... so if we walk into the Sistine Chapel, you're gonna' notice the furniture first? Singability of the 'lyrics' aren't all to a song? From a self admitted lyricist? Who doesn't play? Not! Unless you're say, someone like Larry Carlton and can 'entertain' me with a melody that 'sings itself,' someone better be singing good lyrics with exceptional phrasing, within the tempo of the song. Or mirrored if you will. Uptempo sometimes demands and can certainly withstand lotsa' words. "Tried to give you consolation, when you're old man had let you down!" vs... "Sail on silver bird, sail on by.."

And along those lines, I have seen better songs you wrote, that you disliked yourself. No nits, wake up Anth... ps... I like you're 'serious' songs moreso than this type. I realize that's worth nothing, but you write serious better to me. Good idea, needs solidifying. Maybe it's "too" big "a" thought for a song. ??
